Congratulations to Tiffen for a very well deserved award.
The Academy will award Tiffen with the Academy Award of Commendation (Special Plaque) for their outstanding filters. The award will be given at the Academy Award annual Scientific and Technical Awards presentation on Saturday February 7th in Bevery Hills.
ACADEMY AWARD OF COMMENDATION (SPECIAL PLAQUE)
To Steven Tiffen, Jeff Cohen and Michael Fecik for their pioneering work in developing dye-based filters that reduce IR contamination when neutral density filters are used with digital cameras.
"The Tiffen Company identified the problem and rapidly engineered a series of absorptive filters that ameliorated infrared artifacts with lenses of all focal lengths. These widely adopted filters allow cinematographers to work as they have done with film-based technology."*
